Creativity is associated with higher well-being and more positive COVID-19 experience

[AlphaCog]

We investigated whether creativity is associated with higher well-being and more positive COVID-19 experience. Participants (N = 252) filled out a creativity measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, they rated their positive affect and stress experience in the last month, their satisfaction with life, and indicated the extent to which they perceived COVID-19 as a positive experience. More creative individuals were more satisfied with their lives after controlling for perceived stress and personality. Results of a serial mediation showed that creativity fostered more positive emotions, which lowered perceived stress, which then led to a more positive COVID-19 experience. Findings add to the literature showing the beneficial effects of creativity on well-being, and point to the utility of introducing interventions that would promote creative thinking to improve quality of life and resilience to life adversities.

I'm reading through a book by Michael Nehls about the physical effects on our brains by what was done to us. It's truly stunning, and I expect some new and terrifying danger will be used to force us into uncreative group-think again unless we become aware of how this process works...
